About the Technology Fast 500 program

Publish date:

The original program, the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 North America, was founded in 1995. In 2001, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) expanded the programme to Europe and in 2002, the program was established in Asia Pacific. The ranking of established and emerging high-growth companies in the region is a tribute to those that continue to thrive—even during times of economic slowdown. It is companies such as these that will likely be key forces behind economic growth in Asia Pacific for years to come.

Furthermore, since award winners likely will continue to grow at a rapid pace and be the source of future technological advances, this DTT program recognizes, rewards and raises the profile of the fastest-growing firms—not only in Asia Pacific, but within a global context where technology chief executives operate.
